Meatpacking Markdowns Begin

By ManhattanMataHari

With the boutique sales starting city-wide we wanted to check out how our favorite stores on 14th street were faring with their sales. We found a good selection of sale merchandise that will definitely warrant the cab ride downtown.

The well-curated boutique department store started their initial markdowns, which is 30% most of this season's merchandise. The normal Chanel and Louboutin early exclusions apply but they will let you presale you Louboutin boots as well as purple, teal and black suede simple pumps. Be sure to check out the clothing sales racks in the back of the store. The racks are full of Marni, Lanvin and Prada, including their popular puffy fur trim jackets. We especially loved the floral print Erdem dresses now $1022 from $1450.

McQueen clutches

Alexander McQueen
Enjoy 40% off popular Brit-inspired style, including their famous signature clutches and other accessories. There are many racks with clothing, gowns and outerwear, including his popular seasonal oxblood and winter white looks. There are also some in addition to leather totes. We especially urge you to call ahead to reserve a clutch before they are sold out.

Moschino
Nearly the entire Moschino store is 40% off retail, currently, including all accessories. The playful pansy print pieces are a standout, even if we won’t be able to wear that maxi dress until Spring. The helpful Moschino staff will make this one of your more pleasant discount shopping experiences.

Carlos Miele
In the midst of gala season, you might need a new dress. If this is the case than Carlose Miele should be your go-to for elegant evening wear. Shoppers can take advantage of 30% off their current fall/winter collection, but there are racks with steeper discounts. Merchandise in the back of the store is discounted 60% off. We found a $900 standout silk royal blue number marked down to a reasonable $340.

Krizia
The markdown is one of the highest for clothing in the district, with nearly the whole store discounted 40% to 50% off retail. Shoes and accessories are at a 40% cut, and the clothing ranges in sale amounts. Naturally, our favorite structured silk dresses were only 40% off, but that placed the well over $1000 retail price down to $720.
